How to deal with the problem of rib fracture, the specific solution is as follows:
1, if there is a rib fracture, the first thing to do is to help the patient to stop the pain in time. Because the patient will feel very painful at this time, it is necessary to stop the pain in time. There are two specific treatments, one is to take painkillers, and the other is to take closed fractures.
2. In addition, we can fix the position of rib fracture. If the position is in a closed single rib, it can be fixed by multi-head or elastic chest strap. This can not only relieve the patient's pain, but also fix the ribs well.
3. Finally, the most important thing is to protect the patient's normal respiratory function. Because when we breathe, we mainly rely on our ribs. When our ribs are broken, we will be prone to lack of oxygen, and we can give oxygen when necessary. In addition, patients should cough and expectorate in time, so that they will not be deprived of oxygen. In severe cases, they can choose oxygen bags.
What is introduced above is how to deal with rib fracture. I believe that everyone has already understood it clearly. In addition, we also went to the hospital in time to inject antibiotics to prevent infection or tetanus.
1, fracture symptoms
(1) local expression
1. Abnormal long bone fracture. After the fracture segment is displaced, the shape of the injured body changes, and special deformities may occur, such as the "fork" deformity of Colles fracture.
2. Abnormal activities are in non-joint parts of limbs, and abnormal activities occur after fracture.
3, bone rubbing sound or bone rubbing sound When the fracture ends are in contact with each other, bone rubbing sound can be heard or touched.
(2) local pain and tenderness
After fracture, local tissue injury or partial muscle spasm can cause different degrees of pain. There are obvious localized tenderness and longitudinal tapping pain at the fracture site, which is often one of the important basis for judging whether there is a fracture.
(3) local swelling
After the fracture, the local blood vessels are damaged, blocking the collaterals, and swelling may occur. If there is more bleeding at the fracture and it overflows under the skin, it will become a spot. If the myofascia at the fracture site is intact, so that the bleeding cannot overflow, or the circulation is blocked due to the compression of the broken end, the pressure in the myofascia area will continue to increase, which will affect the perfusion of arterial blood, thus causing muscle ischemia and hypoxia, and even leading to muscle necrosis and ischemic muscle contracture in severe cases.
(4) local dysfunction
After the fracture, the internal support of the limb is damaged, and the limb loses its proper leverage. At the same time, the pain causes muscle reflex spasm, and the limb function may be partially limited or completely lost. However, the green branch fracture and incarcerated fracture may have no obvious dysfunction, so they need to be carefully examined to avoid missed diagnosis.
(5) Shock
It is a common complication of fracture, which is more common in multiple fractures, femoral fractures, pelvic fractures, spinal fractures and severe open bone throwing injuries. Patients often go into shock due to the reduction of effective circulating blood volume caused by massive bleeding from fracture, extensive injury of important organs or soft tissues, severe pain, fear and other factors.
(6) Fever
After the fracture, the body temperature is generally normal. Only when there are serious injuries, massive internal bleeding and hematoma absorption, the body temperature rises slightly, generally not exceeding 38℃. Open fractures, such as persistent fever, should consider the possibility of infection.
